USA Rugby U-19 Championships 2010

United Rugby Football Club Wins!

Well! United pulled it off! Good for them!

What a game! 17 nil at the end of the first half. I think Highland was shellshocked after that and never quite made it back. They did come out strongly after half and got 17 points to match, but United capitalized and got the extra it needed to finish the task. Nevertheless it was well contested by two great teams and the final score on the Rio Tinto pitch was 22-17 for United!

What a great showing for two Utah Rugby Clubs to be in the final championship game for the Under Nineteen (U-19) USA Rugby NATIONAL Championship!!!

Saturday I had watched Highland decimate Belmont Shore (Southern California). Belmont did a great job keeping up with Highland but they could never quite put it down in the Try zone. So it was quite a change of pace to see HIghland struggling to keep up with United.

The level of play in this championship test was heightened; the physicality was noticeable; both teams were going all out. What a great great test!
